These documentary episodes show quite a bunch of interesting things, even some reliefs and statues that aren't that commonly featured in the average egyptian documentaries, but the presenter - and writer - of this mini-series, Alastair, is an opinionated little horny gremlin. Apologies for these harsh words, but this man has got massive issues with being unbiased and fair. And mature. Which he isn't.
What you hear here aren't necessarily historical facts, but his personal opinion about a great number of artifacts. And Alastair comes over as painfully opinionated and prejudiced, seemingly enticed by breasts and 'sexy' women depictions, offended by proportions he deems unsexy (he likes calling things ugly, nasty, fat, deformed), and he's trying to glaze it all over with a bunch of meaningless artsy hoo-ha talk that is entirely subjective, not backed by any facts or expert interviews, and leaves you wondering if this is a circus or a serious attempt at presenting the ancient egyptian culture.
His interpretations of facial features quickly paint the supposed original peoples of ancient times as pained, angry, grumpy, wholly unhappy and troubled individuals throughout, and all of Alastair's evidence for those claims are his personal dislikes for various features. Then on other occasions he will go onto lengthy rants filled with praise and his 'art expert' interpretations of what he believes arbitrarily chosen details to mean.
Take this documentary as a cautionary tale for what not to do. Namely don't let a fool rant away about things he has no knowledge about, and get more experts to present things instead. And fire Alastair.
Visually the footage shown here is quite nice though, so the production crew did its job well. Watch this only if you exhausted your supply of egypt documentaries.
